ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding a sudden and complete failure of the Body Control Module (BCM) in my 2015 Nissan Rogue. This failure has resulted in a complete "no-start" condition, rendering the vehicle inoperable without warning. The problem occurred on or about [Date of Breakdown, if known]. The vehicle would not start, despite the ignition powering on. A professional diagnosis was performed, which confirmed that the Body Control Module had failed and was not sending the required signal to the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) to allow the vehicle to start. The technician's notes state: "FOUND NO SIGNAL FROM BCM TO IPDM TO START VEHICLE." I have since learned that this is a known manufacturer issue, documented in Nissan Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) NTB16-024, titled "No Start, MIL ON, DTC U1000, U1010, C110A, P1614, P1615, P1630, P1631 (Reprogram BCM or Replace IPDM)." The diagnosis and attempted repair on my vehicle perfectly match the procedure outlined in this TSB. Safety Concern: While a"no-start" condition may not seem like a traditional safety hazard, the sudden and unpredictable nature of this failure presents a significant safety risk. A vehicle that becomes completely inoperable without warning can strand drivers and passengers in potentially dangerous situations, such as: · In the middle of intersections or busy roadways. · In isolated areas with no access to help. · During extreme weather conditions (extreme heat, cold, storms). · While transporting individuals with medical needs. The failure of a critical electronic component like the BCM, which is responsible for numerous vehicle functions, at only 50,000 miles indicates a serious and potentially widespread defect in materials or workmanship. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this failure pattern in 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue vehicles.existence of a TSB and numerous complaints from other owners online suggest a major defect.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I own a 2016 Nissan Rogue. VIN: [XXX] . The transmission system (power train) is malfunctioning, showing fault code P17F1 and symptoms of slipping, delayed acceleration, and a heavy ride. The issue is intermittent but recurring. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety is compromised during highway merging, uphill driving, and stop-and-go traffic. The vehicle hesitates or drags, which could lead to collisions or loss of control in high-speed or congested conditions. Passport Nissan Alexandria confirmed squirrel damage in August 2021, tied to Nissan’s use of soy-based wire insulation. They wrapped the wires with rat tape and recommended cayenne pepper, which I’ve consistently used. Despite these measures, the vehicle now shows signs of electrical instability affecting transmission performance. The original damage was confirmed by the dealership. The current issue has not yet been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. I have submitted a warranty exception request to Nissan Consumer Affairs and Executive Consumer Affairs and requested a full diagnostic review. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure. The symptoms began in early 2024 and have occurred multiple times since. The fault code was retrieved using an OBD-II scanner. This issue reflects a broader manufacturer vulnerability tied to material choices that attract rodents and create long-term electrical risk. Documentation includes a timestamped Facebook post and a dealership confirmation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE
The vehicle has an open federal safety recall related to a manufacturing defect that poses a serious safety risk. The recall was announced months after purchase, but the defect existed at the time of sale. The manufacturer has delayed providing a remedy for more than 90 days and continues to state that repairs are “under development.” The vehicle remains unsafe to drive, and no temporary or permanent remedy has been provided despite repeated contact with the manufacturer’s regional consumer affairs specialist. The issue places my safety and the safety of others at risk because the defect can lead to sudden vehicle malfunction while driving. The vehicle has been serviced and inspected by a dealer who confirmed the open recall but could not perform repairs. The manufacturer refuses to provide a replacement or buyback, and instead continues to require payments for a defective vehicle. There were no prior warning lamps or messages before the recall notice was issued. This is an ongoing safety concern caused by the manufacturer’s failure to remedy a known defect within a reasonable time under 49 U.S.C. §30120(c).

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
While driving at approximately 15–20 mph, my vehicle suddenly started beeping and displayed a quick warning message on the dashboard before the brakes locked up on their own. The incident lasted only a few seconds, but it was extremely alarming. This same issue has now happened twice, both times in the exact same location on the same road, driving at about the same speed. The first incident was roughly around [XXX], the second incident was [XXX]. On both occasions, I had my [XXX] twin daughters in the car with me, and it frightened all of us. Thankfully, there were no vehicles directly behind me either time, otherwise it could have resulted in a rear-end collision. I believe there were cars ahead of me, but they were far enough away that I don’t think they triggered the sensors. Both times it was sunny, dry weather, and the road conditions were normal—no rain, no slick surfaces, and no obstacles in front of me. I am not sure if sunlight could have affected a sensor, but it appears to be related to the vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system or another electronic braking malfunction. The problem has not yet been inspected or confirmed by a dealer, but I plan to have it checked as soon as possible.

my Door Lock Actuator has failed on my passenger side front seat door. This poses a safety risk potentially trapping my family inside or allowing doors to swing open while driving. I could also think I locked my doors, however it did not lock and can lead to theft. In 2010, a different car I had was stolen and I still have anxiety about this, so this added level of potential theft has increased my anxiety when going places. My local Goodyear repair shop inspected the actuator and advised that it has failed. There were no warnings or messages that were presented when this started occurring. This started summer of 2025 and gets worse as time goes on.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My back window shattered for no reason. I had been driving for about 20 minutes. The ac was on my feet and not for the rear defrost. My [XXX] was in her booster seat in the back seat. We heard an explosion. I looked back to see a softball sized hole in my back window. I called Lumberton Nissan and the General Manager was very rude and was "mansplaining" how he is just a supplier and not responsible for windows exploding. There was no lawn or road work happening. There are no bullet holes in my vehicle. No rocks were found. The location I bought my vehicle from told me to make a claim with my insurance. I ended up just calling a mobile windshield vendor that my employer uses for their vehicles. I work for a Dodge dealership. While the repair is fixed, this has left my daughter scared to ride in my vehicle. I have joined a few Facebook groups who have posted their horror stories of their back windshields exploding. This needs to be fixed! Now that the window has been fixed. When you open and close my hatchback or even take a turn. You can hear glass INSIDE of the door rolling around. The vendor was not able to take apart the door to vacuum the glass up. This will become extremely annoying and make me scared that another window broke, hearing the glass rattle around in my hatchback door. What can be done to help the consumer? As the GM at Lumberton Nissan talks down to women and felt the need to explain how he is only a supplier of vehicles and does not make them, himself. Well, DUH! You are a dealership, not the factory. But the idea of a recall needs to be discussed on your end. This is not safe! My front windshield is perfectly fine and no issues. Same as the four door windows. But my back window should not be exploding on a 66 degree morning when my vehicle is only set at the lowest blowing setting of 72 degrees for more than 20 minutes, on my feet. Again, the rear defrost was no longer turned on. I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I have a bunch of pics. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFO

On Oct 15th, 2025 in the afternoon my vehicle was parked at my work and back hatch windshield complete shattered. Many other vehicles parked in the same parking lot. No signs of any foul play. Called State Farm insurance and they called the auto glass repair shop to file a claim and have fixed.This could have been tragic if would have been driving possibly. Seems many other owners of Nissan Rouge other year/model are having the same issue. Dealer is being contacted as well. The vehicle was bought brand new approx. 3 months ago in July 2025. No warning of any thing wrong with hatch/windshield. Vehicle may be looked at for inspection but it is to be fixed Oct 16th 2025. Pictures were taken and documented

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
During a recent trip I noticed a "fluttering/rattling" noise coming from the top of the windshield of our 2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum. The noise was very noticeable at interstate highway speed and on rougher road surfaces. While looking for the source of noise I found staining on the driver side headliner and interior front pillar garnish. Took Rogue to dealer and was told that the seal for the attachment clips for the roof rack were leaking into the interior. Leakage had damaged headliner and gotten into the airbag. The roof racks would have to be removed and sealed and the entire headliner, front pillar garnish, and the airbag replaced. The total repair would cost approximately $4,000.00. Since the Rogue was 45 months old with 20,500 miles it was out of warranty due to its age. The dealer told me that I would be responsible for the cost to repair it since it was out of warranty. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs to see if they would cover the cost since the leak was caused by a design and/or manufacturing defect. Nissan agreed to pay 90% of the repair but I would be responsible for the remaining 10% (approximately $400.00). I told them this was unacceptable and that Nissan should be responsible for the entire cost of the repair. Nissan has refused my requests to cover the full cost of repair. An internet search revealed that Nissan was aware of the defect and had issued a Service Bulletin (NTB21-097, dated 10/20/21), which was a few months before we purchased the vehicle. Since the leak can allow water to damage the airbag it is a serious safety issue. The airbag may not deploy properly during an accident or could suddenly deploy for no reason and cause a crash. Nissan should take full responsibility and pay the full amount for the repair since it is a known design and/or manufacturing defect. Nissan should issue a recall for affected vehicles.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On [XXX] I was driving out of state on the highway and abruptly I received an engine warning on my dashboard, my car immediately went into "limp" mode. Pulled over on the highway as car was now un operable. The car received 2 diagnostic tests via the closest mechanic on 10/6 which stated my engine has gone. The car than was towed to Victory Nissan of Mechanicsville who completed the second diagnostic test on 10/13/2025 who stated my engine and transmission needs to be fixed corrected. There are no current remedies so I would have to pay for the cost and when a remedy is provided by Nissan, then I would be able to provide then the invoice for reimbursement. The car is currently still at Victory Nissan of Mechanicsville. They also had no loaners available so I have been carless thus far. Prior to the failure there were no other symptoms or warning lights before [XXX] on my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The KR15 1.5 L VC-Turbo engine in my 2023 Nissan Rogue (VIN [XXX] ) suffered complete engine failure while driving, resulting in loss of thrust and a sudden drop in power. The failure corresponds to Safety Recall 25V-437 for defective crankshaft bearings. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer, and no remedy or countermeasure engine is available until late Q4 2025, leaving the vehicle unsafe to operate. Warning signs began a few days prior with an intermittent yellow engine light. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

It was a cold morning and we defrosted our windows before leaving the house. We had been driving for about 2 hrs. We stopped and while in the car sitting with it parked, idling and with the heat on, there was a loud explosion sound and the back windshield blew out on its own on the passenger side! It flew outward behind the vehicle. It was like pressure came from within the vehicle and pushed it out? The whole back windshield started crackling for a long time and bubbling. This was very Scary when it happened! If someone or another vehicle was behind ours this could of been very dangerous or even worse if we were driving at the time and it caused an accident! I googled Rogue rear window exploding on its own and this has happened to others!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Our car is currently at the dealership again, (2nd time) for this particular issue that we feel is a safety issue. We are still experiencing an issue with the lift gate. It is coming down at random times, often coming down on us. The sensor always beeps (so far) so you have a very short warning before it comes down on you. However, when it comes down, it takes alot to stop it (force). Even though it meets resistance with putting up our hands to stop it, it takes quite a bit to make it halt. It has also come down with my back to the car, with no motion under the sensor (no feet under the car to trigger the sensor). I do not have a video of it however I do have someone who witnessed it. We are not sure if this is related to the other electrical issues we are having. We've been experiencing issues with it being hard to start, the complete computer screen going blank (on video) or car changes randomly the temperature and shuts down the radio randomly. We were told yesterday that they were able to duplicate the issue and acknowledged that the gate came down "hard" not fast, but does not respond quickly when coming against opposing pressure. However, today we were contacted and told that Nissan wanted them to test other cars on the lot for the same issue, and now they are telling us that those cars respond the same way ours does, (very sensitive- she did not mention anything about them coming down hard.) However, the loaner car they gave us was also a 2025 Nissan Rouge and we have NOT had that issue with it. The hatch opens and closes without issue. The computer has not malfunctioned or completely went blank. It has not been hard to start, nor has the computer malfunctioned-shutting the radio off or changing the temperature information. It was recommended that maybe to "shut off" the lift gate and raise it by hand. However, we find it a little "rich" of the dealership to even "go there" as the car is 10 months old! We would like it to be fixed.

Because of the potential for engine bearing failure, our 2022 Nissan Rogue has been sitting in our garage for the past two months as we continue to make payments on it. It is unacceptable that Nissan continues to delay their efforts to provide a remedy for this issue. I can't imagine what Nissan Rogue owners will do if this is their only vehicle.

There is an odd engine 'rattling', 'guzzling', 'slurping', type noise coming from the engine and the engine has begun to idle very rough even after fresh oil change. This is directly the issue cited from Nissan as recall with no current solution - which is unacceptable. We are not interested in waiting until the car malfunctions worse and in a dangerous way in order to get this recall addressed.

My auctuators door locks have failed numerous times. The passenger rear was replaced when the vehicle was still under warranty. In the last 6 months the front drivers side, and passenger side has failed. Nissan does not have a recall on these and should! My car only has 32,000 miles on it. There obviously is an issue that needs to be addressed with a recall.
